Abstract

This work explores the application of Industry 5.0 principles in smart cities development in Malaysia and China, focusing on digital transformation for sustainable urban development. The study presents case-studies from both the countries, highlighting the implementation strategies, challenges, and outcomes associated with integrating advanced technologies to enhance efficiency, climate resilience, and sustainability. This study aims to develop a data-driven methodology to address the absence of region-specific frameworks for sustainable smart cities (SSCs) and to evaluate their impacts. In Malaysia, the implementation of smart energy management systems that utilize IoT and AI has shown promise in reducing carbon footprints and maximizing resource efficiency. China's focus on smart water management using sensor networks and real-time data analytics provides insights into effective water conservation. Smart waste management systems have increased recycling rates by 20–30 %. Progress is crucial for the region's pursuit of SSCs to reach a global investment of USD 2.5 trillion by 2025. This work concludes by discussing the implications of this work in both countries to achieve sustainable urbanization through Industry 5.0 technologies. This work offers recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and technologists to navigate the complexities of smart city development, while providing a roadmap to leverage digital transformation to achieve decarbonization goals in energy, waste and water sector by 2060.

通过可持续智慧城市（SSC）中的数字化，加速能源、废物和水行业的去碳化：基于工业 5.0 范式的马来西亚和中国案例研究

本研究探讨了工业 5.0 原则在马来西亚和中国智慧城市发展中的应用，重点关注城市可持续发展的数字化转型。本研究介绍了这两个国家的案例研究，强调了与整合先进技术以提高效率、气候适应力和可持续性相关的实施策略、挑战和成果。本研究旨在开发一种数据驱动的方法，以解决缺乏针对特定地区的可持续智慧城市（SSCs）框架的问题，并评估其影响。在马来西亚，利用物联网和人工智能实施的智能能源管理系统在减少碳足迹和最大限度地提高资源效率方面大有可为。中国注重利用传感器网络和实时数据分析进行智能水管理，为有效节水提供了启示。智能废物管理系统使回收率提高了 20-30%。要在 2025 年实现全球 2.5 万亿美元的投资目标，该地区在追求 SSCs 方面取得进展至关重要。这项工作最后讨论了这项工作对两国通过工业 5.0 技术实现可持续城市化的影响。这项工作为政策制定者、城市规划者和技术专家提供了建议，帮助他们驾驭智能城市发展的复杂性，同时为利用数字化转型在 2060 年前实现能源、废物和水领域的去碳化目标提供了路线图。

期刊介绍： Sustainable Cities and Society (SCS) is an international journal that focuses on fundamental and applied research to promote environmentally sustainable and socially resilient cities. The journal welcomes cross-cutting, multi-disciplinary research in various areas, including: 1. Smart cities and resilient environments; 2. Alternative/clean energy sources, energy distribution, distributed energy generation, and energy demand reduction/management; 3. Monitoring and improving air quality in built environment and cities (e.g., healthy built environment and air quality management); 4. Energy efficient, low/zero carbon, and green buildings/communities; 5. Climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban environments; 6. Green infrastructure and BMPs; 7. Environmental Footprint accounting and management; 8. Urban agriculture and forestry; 9. ICT, smart grid and intelligent infrastructure; 10. Urban design/planning, regulations, legislation, certification, economics, and policy; 11. Social aspects, impacts and resiliency of cities; 12. Behavior monitoring, analysis and change within urban communities; 13. Health monitoring and improvement; 14. Nexus issues related to sustainable cities and societies; 15. Smart city governance; 16. Decision Support Systems for trade-off and uncertainty analysis for improved management of cities and society; 17. Big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence applications and case studies; 18. Critical infrastructure protection, including security, privacy, forensics, and reliability issues of cyber-physical systems. 19. Water footprint reduction and urban water distribution, harvesting, treatment, reuse and management; 20. Waste reduction and recycling; 21. Wastewater collection, treatment and recycling; 22. Smart, clean and healthy transportation systems and infrastructure;
